/**
 * Annotates a groovy property or a class to support JavaFX properties.
 *
 * <p>When annotating a property it indicates that the property should be a
 * bound property according to  JavaFX beans, announcing to listeners
 * that the value has changed.</p>
 *
 * <p>When annotating a class it indicates that all groovy properties in that
 * class should be bound as though each property had the annotation (even
 * if it already has it explicitly).</p>
 *
 * <p>It is a compilation error to place this annotation on a field (that is
 * not a property, i.e. has scope visibility modifiers).</p>
 *
 * <p>If a property with a user defined setter method is annotated the code
 * block is wrapped with the needed code to fire off the event.</p>
